From the Heart by B.Demaere

  Don’t Lose Courage “Don’t lose courage or be afraid when rumors are heard in the land.   One rumor comes one year, another rumor comes the next year; Rumors of violence are in the land.   Rumors that one ruler will fight against another are in the land.” (Jeremiah 51:46 GWT) Even though, this word was written 620 years BC to the children of Israel while they were in Babylon captivity.   It was prophesying their deliverance from them. Don’t be discourage by what you hear in the news or watch on TV because God has better things for those who belong to him.   He is with them always. Your future on earth may not be what you have envisage it to be, but God is always on his Throne ruling the nations. For the kingdom is the Lord’s And He rules the nations. Psalm 22:28)   The word “discourage” comes from the Old French word (des) corage: It means ‘taking away courage.   In other word, refrain from having fellowship with anything that take...

  All-Sufficient and Abundant Grace (2 Corinthians 12:9) Grace is more than for salvation, it is for all aspects of the Christian life, and we could always use it.  What would we do without this all-sufficient grace?  We need it for healing, for our interactions with people and parenting.  Grace should be our Friend, it is Jesus.  We, certainly need it in our weaknesses and in our suffering.

He has abundant grace for everyone (1 Timothy 1:12-13). Since there we are dead to sins according to Romans 6:1 we are living in grace, God in his wisdom has made an even greater abundance of grace for us.   He is always the one who p...

Email Me Please don’t but only if you want!    I am reading a book that inspires me very much.   It is called, “Out of The Comfort Zone” by George Verwer. Who was the international director of Operation Mobilization.   I met George in 1984, when I was with OM in Belgium on a summer mission trip from here Canada.   He was a good example to me. He went to be with the Lord just recently. In this book, he writes about a book of Charles Swindoll, “Grace Awakening”.   In that book, I paraphrase that if we understood vertical Grace, we would be able to live the horizontal Grace. We have been saved by Grace, let us give that Grace to others with them present or not.   If we were to ask any Christian of any church, if his or her church lives in unity, he or she probably would give an affirmative answer.   Yet in our spirit, we can judge silently and not offend anyone right?   I do it, we all do it and it offends God.   He knows our every th...
